Turbomolecular pumps are complex systems that require extremely deep vacuums to operate effectively. These highly advanced, multi-stage pumps are common in applications like mass spectrometry, leak detection and semiconductor manufacturing. Many turbomolecular pump systems rely on diaphragm technology for roughing pumps to create the necessary vacuum conditions and keep vacuum levels stable. KNF diaphragm pumps offer a variety of advantages, including:  • ultimate vacuum down to .5 mbar (abs.)  • long service life  • oil-free operation to prevent media contamination • optional brushless DC (BLDC motors) for speed-controlled operations • optional gas ballasts for wet gas applications

Cafés, restaurants, and contract caterers worldwide depend on high-quality coffee machines, and one of the leading suppliers is our long-time customer, Eversys SA, a Swiss coffee machine manufacturer. With over 40,000 machines in operation, Eversys demands excellence from its component manufacturers. Key factors like long service life, optimal pump performance, and quiet operation are crucial for delivering top-notch coffee. "In this case, we needed to ensure that the pump would operate reliably and quietly in a busy cafeteria while producing the high-pressure milk foam essential for quality coffee," Marco Reolon, CMO, KNF Neuberger AG. "Using both diaphragm pump and swing piston pump technology, we are able to ideally support all coffee machine application needs. This is just one example of how KNF customizes pumps to meet specific customer needs, focusing not just on the pump itself but on its impact on the entire system."

What makes a great cup of coffee for you? ☕ Not just on today’s International Day of Coffee - coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages, offering a refreshing start to the day or a calming midday break. In our busy lives, a hot, delicious coffee is an often very welcome distraction. One key factor in crafting a perfect coffee is the quality of the milk foam.    But what exactly makes milk foam exceptional? It’s all about precisely regulating the air volume entering the system to create the ideal texture. Our long-time customer, Eversys SA, uses KNF pumps in their Cameo and E'line coffee machines. These pumps ensure barista-quality coffee at home by delivering the perfect amount of compressed air at the perfect pressure. #KNF #pumps #InternationalDayofCoffee #coffee

As the boundaries of scientific research and medical diagnostics continue to be pushed, flow cytometry remains a cornerstone technology.  For years, #KNF pumps have played a critical role in flow cytometers and cell sorting systems for processes such as washing, waste management and fluid replenishment. More recently, they have expanded into new areas, with KNF Smooth Flow Technology opening up new frontiers, particularly in the field of sheath fluid delivery.  "With the introduction of our Smooth Flow pumps, we have overcome the pulsation that has been a limiting factor in the use of traditional diaphragm pumps in flow cytometry. These new KNF pumps offer higher throughput, easier cleaning, zero maintenance and longer life," says Dave Howard, KNF Neuberger, Inc.  Looking to the future, we are excited about the new possibilities offered by Smooth Flow diaphragm pumps, which not only solve today's challenges, but also anticipate tomorrow's needs.
